This welcoming, cosy yet spacious, roadside inn on the northern edge of Dartmoor has a long history dating back to its origins as a Post House. All four beers are West Country sourced and there is usually a choice of two ciders from Sampford Orchards. Food, which is available daily, is sourced locally wherever possible. The beer garden is particularly attractive and has panoramic views.

Historic Interest

15th century Post Inn on then main route to Cornwall
